I had this surgery done on my left big toe. The numbing hurt like hell, but the surgery didn't, imagine that.
At any rate, the woman(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) got rid of the roots at an angle, so now my toenail is slightly slanted. No more of that ingrown BS though.
She showed me how much nail was inbedded (on each side) into my toe and it was rather disgusting. I blame it all on soccer cleats though, all point and ****...

surgery? whoa.. that's intense.
I've had these before and if you pierce and drain them, and keep them clean (rubberband, cottonball, and alcohol) for a while they heal fine. At least that was my exp.

I tried that yayer, even went and got the special dr. Scholls thing with the bandaid and pad and crap for it, I have to be on my feet for 8 hrs a day, I dun think anything was gonna help at the point it was at, well except surgery i guess, they REALLY thought that if I had waited a day longer, they would have to amputate it, I had to hop around....The dr. looked at it (at ER, my dr. was gone...) and he wouldn't even touch it, that's why they pumped me full of antibiotics (well that and the infections spreading)..I had to wait for 3 days before I actually had the surgery AFTER the ER visit and them telling me they wanted to take it off....yeah the numbing was the shittiest part, the even shittier thing was that there was only sposed to be 7 shots, I had to get 9...for some reason, my toe didn't want to numb......watching them stick a huge metal scraper under the cuticle was one of the craziest things I have EVER seen...and to not be able to feel it made it even better...when I had my birthmark removed, they offered to let my fiancee look in the hole (they completely removed it and all the skin underneath) you could see the muscles and such..she wouldn't look, they told her it was a once in a lifetime thing, I asked for them to bring me a mirror, I wanted to see, but they told me to just hold still :P
